What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Creative Designer role in a collaborative team that values brand, motion and 3D expertise, offers growth and international opportunities, and provides visa sponsorship.

I am a versatile Creative Designer specialising in branding, web design, and 3D product visualisation, with experience producing full 3D animated productions, mascots, and dynamic visual assets across industries.

Since May 2020 I have run my own freelance design business delivering end-to-end projects for international clients, refining project management, client collaboration, and workflow optimisation skills. My student-managed 3D short film, Duplexity, was nominated for a South African Film and TV Award in 2023 and I received the Multichoice Talent Bursary in 2022.

I handle the full pipeline from concept to final render—sculpting, modelling, texturing, lighting, rigging, and rendering—and design brand identities, websites, and marketing assets using tools like ZBrush, Maya, Blender, Substance Painter, Webflow, WordPress, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

I am looking to join a collaborative team where I can apply my expertise in brand identity, motion graphics, and 3D content creation, contribute to commercial launches and campaigns, and grow professionally with opportunities for international work and visa sponsorship.
